it is glass because in my science cass at high school earlier this year we were told it travels fastest through solid, liquid, then gas. This is because in a solid the particles are closer together and then liquid then gas. So it is glass. Also Sound travels slower in air (a gas) because the particles it relies on to transmit the sound are spread out further. In liquids and solids however, the particles are less spread out and therefore the sound can transmit faster.
The denser the medium, the faster sound travels through it. Glass (silicon oxide) is fairly dense, and sound waves propagate through it faster than they do through air or water.
Yes, both forms of waves can pass through ( you can hear sounds through a window and obviously you can see through a window).
Usually when you place a medium glass next to the ocean, the wave does not break through the glass initially. However, give it time, and it will travel through.
Yes, a sound wave is a mechanical wave. Sound waves need a medium (like air) to travel through. The energy of the wave, the mechanical energy, is transferred into the medium through which it is propagated.
When a wave passes through a substance, it gets transmitted through it. The speed of the wave changes depending on the nature of the substance.
electromagnetic waves are wave that do not require a material medium for their propagation while mechanical wave requires a material medium for example light wave is an electromagnetic wave it does not require any material medium(depends on air or water)for their propagation i.e even in the absence of air light will still travel... sound wave is a mechanical wave because sound do not travel in a vacuum....
The "medium" is whatever a wave requires, to be able to travel - so, the wave travels through a medium. In the case of electromagnetic waves, this medium is space itself, since it has certain electrical and magnetic properties.
Shear / transverse waves do not travel through liquids.
when a wave travel through medium then sound is produced
waves are easily travel in medium.....
The medium of an ocean wave is water.
Sound wave do not travel through vaccum as it need medium to travel.
We know that a mechanical wave requires a medium through which to travel. The source puts the energy into the medium, and it propagates. A sound wave is a good example of this, and we can contrast it with an electromagnetic wave (like light). Light can travel through a vacuum; it doesn't require a medium for its propagation.
A mechanical wave such as a sound wave requires a medium to travel through.
A Mechanical Wave is a wave that requires a medium through which to travel.
the wave which does not travel through a medium is called electromagnetic wave.
a light wave?
A deshawn wave!
any wave of energy except for electromagnetic waves need a medium to travel through.
Yes ,....... light wave can travel through the air ... the light wave does not require any medium.
